Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend:
Eating on a toilet never sounds appetizing to me, but apparently the owners of WDuck seem to think differently. I suppose sitting on a toilet while eating dinner is better than eating your dinner from a toilet bowl. Either way... disgusting. Please tell me these adjustable breast implants are a joke. I thought those pump high-tops from the 90s were silly, but these implants are just plain ridiculous. A Chinese man can write 10 Arabic numerals simultaneously with his 10 fingers. I wish I could see a video of this. I dislike setting my cellphone on the floor when it's charging or stretching the cord so that it sits on our buffet making a possible strangulation device. I suppose I could use a different outlet, but I like to charge my phone in a place where I won't forget it when I'm leaving the house. The Load-ding is exactly what I need -- a hammock for my gadgets. Here's a neat trick: Clean your dishwasher with Kool-Aid. If you enjoy bathing in gelatin (yeah, because we all do) then I suppose you will enjoy Gelli Baff. "Gelli Baff turns a normal bath into a pool of brightly-colored gelatinous goop. Its a powder that holds 400 times its weight in water, similar to the substance used in disposable diapers. A packet of dissolver is included to turn the goop back into water when it’s time to rinse."
Today is Friday the 13th. Hopefully none of you will experience any bad luck or other weirdness today. Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this 'finally feeling like Spring' weekend. See how Sara Thacher created cast sugar plates and salt cups for a dinner party she held for five of her good friends. I'm not entirely grooving on the salt cups because I don't like things real salty, however, I think the whole idea of edible serving pieces is quite creative. Geneticists from Oxford University and Peninsula Medical School in Exeter are claiming they have linked a specific gene to obesity. Kurt Vonnegut died at the age of 84 from brain injuries after a recent fall. Let's remember Mr. Vonnegut. Geneva watchmaker Romain Jerome SA has created a "Titanic-DNA" collection in which the luxury wristwatches are made from the steel and coal from the Titanic which sank in 1912. Based on our latest BlogCadre poll, most of you believe the egg came before the chicken. Well, I think we are all wrong -- Maybe it was the dinosaur that came first. It's strange to think that the T. Rex and the chicken are related in some way. Here are some outrageous origami creations. Have a good weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this Daylight Saving Time weekend: Piece of advice: Dont' spit in someone's face, especially in San Francisco -- It has been ruled as criminal assault in a recent case. A pilot intentionally crashes his airplane into his in-laws' Indiana home. His eight-year-old daughter was also on the plane. Both father and daughter died. A woman was in the house at the time but was unharmed. To add to my Sesame Street flashback phase recently, here is a classic clip showing us how crayons are made. A dolphin in Japan received a prosthetic tail after losing its previous tail to a skin disease. Here is a very cool collection of sketches done in the NYC subway. [via delicious] Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to change your clocks!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend: Children of the 80s will remember Speak & Spell. Here is an online Speak & Spell emulator that you can play around with and type dirty words into. French Health Minister Xavier Bertrand is wanting studies on the effects of a poor night's sleep on job performance. Depending on the results of the studies, Bertrand will promote on-the-job naps if they prove to be useful. Because of global warming, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is becoming bleached ("functionally extinct") due to warmer seas. I dove in the Great Barrier Reef so to hear this news is devastating to me. Generations may not be able to experience its beauty. This guy is out of his mind for getting a tattoo of his Chevy Cavalier on his forearm. Two reasons why this tattoo was a bad idea: 1) It's a Chevy Cavalier and 2) he has really hairy arms. A Brazilian woman gave birth to a 17 lb. baby. Happy weekend everyone! If you're in the midwest stay warm because it's going to be a cold one.
Here are you Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend: St. Paul's Catholic Church in downtown Iowa City had a raccoon they named 'Ricky' that made a home out of the Church. A tornado damaged the Church beyond repair and was demolished. Despite coaxing by the demolition team to get Ricky down from the heights of the Church, he refused to get down. The demolition went on as planned and Ricky flew off the Church as the demolition ball crashed into the building. Ricky landed safely and was never seen again. Here is a photo gallery of the events. [via Metafilter] A dozen long-stem roses are so 2006. For Valentine's Day this year get your partner a dozen of the World's Tallest Roses. These are as lame as Valentine's Day is a holiday! [via growabrain] This Wendy Japan's red bean burger looks yummy doesn't it? [via Neatorama] Happy weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this weekend... Sorry for the delay. Kevin Federline is the most talented untalented musician in the industry right now next to Paris Hilton. Check out these Amazon tags for his "Playing with Fire" CD. Funny. [via reddit] Missing Apollo 11 Moon landing tapes have been found in Western Australia. I'm not a huge motorcycle fanatic, but I'll certainly give credit to John Farr for creating this custom skeleton bike. Add a little pizzazz to your toilet paper and get an Airyusha Robotan Toilet Paper Holder. The holder is made of heavy duty ceramic and comes in a variety of colors. Toilet paper roll included. [via Cribcandy] See how a carpenter go the highest Scrabble score EVER. Have a good weekend!
Here are your Lazy Weekend Links for this week: Elegant Embellishments has created "a decorative, three-dimensional architectural tile that can reduce vehicular air pollution, including nitrous oxide and ground-level ozone." Link. Scientists have created a new element (still un-named) by mashing together calcium and californium, a manmade element. The new element contained 118 protons in its nucleus making it the heaviest element and first manmade inert gas. The new element will be placed beneath radon on the periodic table. Link. A 10,000 year old meteorite has been found in Kansas. Link. Watch this man lift an over 19,000 lb slab of rock similar to those found in Stonehenge.
